Description
De waterlelie
Ik heb de witte water-lelie lief,
daar die zoo blank is en zoo stil haar kroon'
uitplooit in 't licht.
Rijzend uit donker-koelen vijvergrond,
heeft zij het licht gevonden en ontsloot
toen blij het gouden hart.
Nu rust zij peinzend op het watervlak
en wenscht niet meer...

I'm sorry this poem is only in Dutch.. but it's about a water lily lol
But yet, a translate (with help from Mies and google translate:-)), the poem in English:
Water Lily
I love the white water-lily,
that there is so white and so still her crown "
develops into the light.
Rising from dark-ground cooling pond,
she found the light and opened
glad the golden heart.
Now she rests thoughtfully on the water
and desires no more ...
Thanks for your visit and your comments on my earlier uploads!

Een heel ontroerend gedicht, lieve Esther. En een prachtige zachte waterlelie die er heel goed bij past. A very touching poem, dear Esther. The photo - water lily fits it so well.
